By defining a tooling, graphical and mapping model definition, one can generate a fully functional graphical editor based on the GMF Runtime.

−

The GMF Tooling provides many features that one would have to code by hand if using EMF and GMF directly.

+

−

+

−

* A set of reusable components for graphical editors, such as printing, image export, actions and toolbars and much more.

+

−

* A standardized model to describe diagram elements, which separates between the semantic (domain) and notation (diagram) elements.

+

−

* A command infrastructure that bridges the different command frameworks used by EMF and GEF.

+

−

* An extensible framework that allows graphical editors to be open and extendible.

Overview

The GMF Tooling project provides a model-driven approach to generating graphical editors in Eclipse.
By defining a tooling, graphical and mapping model definition, one can generate a fully functional graphical editor based on the GMF Runtime.

Features

New in this release

One significant event with the Helios release was that the GMF project was restructured under the new Graphical Modeling Project (GMP). GMP includes GMF Tooling, as well as GMF Notation, GMF Runtime and Graphiti.

GMF Tooling is undergoing it's participation in the Eclipse Simultaneous release as it has for each and every release. This is the fifth yearly June release of GMF Tooling.
